This episode features Jenni Harmon, a married mom of two boys who has served in the military, spent a decade in corporate America, and dedicated many years as a stay-at-home mom. For the past seven years, Jenni has been teaching yoga and mindfulness workshops while also creating and selling art. She is currently writing her first book. 

In her early 40s, Jenni experienced a profound shift. Tired of sitting around and drinking, she realized life was slipping by, prompting a significant change. This turning point, which she calls her midlife awakening, began with one word that sparked a journey of self-discovery. Jenni started questioning every decision in her life, including her choice to drink alcohol. She recounts her journey from a routine marred by alcohol to a fulfilling life marked by yoga, mindfulness, and artistic expression. This episode delves into her transformation, from struggles with moderation to the lasting impact of the word ‘unapologetic’ on her life.
